Docklands Design and Construction Standards

The Docklands Design and Construction Standards provide a guide for all professionals involved in public space, waterfront and street design works in Docklands.

Docklands harbour

The standards set out the mandatory technical and documentation requirements for all civil, landscape and infrastructure works occurring in the Docklands public realm. They aim to ensure that the public spaces for Docklands are of high quality, consistent with the rest of the municipality and meet community expectations.

Developers should consult these standards at the outset of any development planning to assist their understanding of the quality of the public realm sought by the Docklands community and the City of Melbourne.

Complying with the Docklands Design and Construction Standards is a requirement of all precinct Development Agreements signed by Places Victoria and is a statutory requirement under the City of Melbourne’s Activities Local Law 2024. It is the responsibility of users to ensure they are referring to the most current version of this document. The current version is available to download below.
